Surf trip around the world

  • Auckland, New Zealand Next stop Auckland, New Zealand.  One of Kahi’s good friends Kyle, who he met and worked with in Tahoe, and his girlfriend Nat scooped us up from the airport and whisked us away to their cozy Auckland home.  They hooked us up with a place to stay and a car to use…

  • With the surf waning and the weather sticking true to Gold Coast form we figured a trip inland to the pastures was in order.  Cam had been here once before, just inland from Currumbin.  With the amount of pastures inland it wasn’t fully necessary to get back to that exact spot.  But like a pig…

  • Waves we scored at da Superbank, Gold Coast A little under two weeks of driving and we finally made it to Sydney in time to pick up my parents.  This was our first time driving around a foreign city and navigating it was a challenge, especially without a proper map.  We drove though the arrivals…

  • The road was long but not hard.  With the comfort of a white station wagon and bags of goodies the trek was made enjoyable.  Our goal was to surf good empty waves, avoid hitting kangaroos, and meet some locals. As I’m writing and now that we’ve made it all the way across I can confidently…

  • We got back to Malaysia with two goals.  The first was to eat as much Indian food as we could and the second was to find waves in the South East.  With dedicated focus, we were able to achieve both.  The first couple of days we spent with Ditesh our couchsurfing host and now our…

  • After a short flight from Luang Prabang we arrived in Bangkok.  I was really excited for Thailand and was really looking forward to the food.  I’ve been dreaming about the curries and most of all the pad thai. Yummy street side Pad Thai Our first day in Bangkok we spent hunting for the muy thai…

  • Laos (Lao) is a land of contrasts.  On one side you have the natural beauty of untouched forest and then on the other hand you’ve got drunk travelers floating down a river and launching themselves off of ridiculously huge swings.  Both have their positives, one has some painful negatives (hangovers). After flying from Siem Reap…

  • Good bye Vietnam, Hello Cambodia! We really didn’t have much time left in South-East Asia but we had to stop in Cambodia to explore the temples of Angkor.  To save some time we caught a bus straight to Siem Reap and decided to save Phnom Phen for our next Cambodia visit.  It was a 6…
